Twice Blessed by Barbara Cameron

Paperback, 288 pages
Published September 15th 2015 by Abingdon Press
ISBN 1630881112 (ISBN13: 9781630881115)About Her Sister’s ShadowKatie and Rosie Stoltzfus work part-time in an Amish store and part-time in Two Peas in a Pod, their own business raising vegetables and fruits and canning them for sale. Although they are identical twins, their personalities are very different: while Katie has always been more outgoing and attractive to boys, Rosie has always felt in her sister’s shadow. It will take an unexpected business opportunity and one very special man to help Rosie see that she’s a unique woman of her own.

About His Brother’s KeeperEver since they were boys, Ben Fisher has trailed after his brother, Mark. Ben has always envied Mark because he’s always been more adventurous, but he's even more jealous now that Mark is engaged to Rachel, a woman they both love. When a terrible accident on Christmas Eve results in their mistaken identity, Ben suddenly has an opportunity to create the life he’s always wanted. While everyone believes he is his brother, who’s still in a coma, Ben finally has a chance with Rachel. But how can he realize an opportunity for real happiness if it means deceiving his kin?

Two sweet novellas just in time for the holidays. My favorite one was "About His Brother's Keeper." I was completely caught up in that story because of the accident and Ben's desire to have the life he was hoping for. I couldn't even imagine doing that to my brother! My only negative about the story was that it got a bit confusing at some points because of the switch, but I was so intrigued in wanting to know how the situation would work itself out, that it didn't take away from the story.

I was graciously provided a free digital copy of this book from Abingdon Press in partnership with NetGalley to review it. I was not required to write a positive review and the opinions I have expressed are my own.
